Valley Oaks Center for Enriched Studies

Summary:

Valley Oaks Center for Enriched Studies is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Sun Valley, CA, with 293 students. As part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California, Valley Oaks has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California high schools over the past 4 school years, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley Oaks significantly underperforms the Los Angeles Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of 11th graders at Valley Oaks were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 49.56% for the district and 55.73% for the state. In math, the proficiency rate for 11th graders was just 8.57%, compared to 21.41% for the district and 27.9% for the state. Additionally, Valley Oaks has had a 4-year graduation rate ranging from 79.5% to 89.3% over the past 3 years, which is lower than the state average, and a higher-than-average dropout rate. The school also struggles with very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.6% to 38.3% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the schools closest to Valley Oaks, such as Arleta High, Panorama High, and John H. Francis Polytechnic, generally outperform Valley Oaks on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, two nearby charter schools, PUC Community Charter Mid and PUC Community Charter Early College High, and Alliance Marine - Innovation and Technology 6-12 Complex, significantly outperform Valley Oaks and the district on most measures. These findings suggest that Valley Oaks faces significant challenges in serving its diverse student population, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, which make up over 90% of the school's enrollment.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
